Rating: 1/5bad support, deceptive packaging and advertising

This review is from: Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3.0 Plus

Pros: Could capture video, little functionality without upgrade.

Cons: Package and website claim you can 'reduce video noise,' 'stabilize shaky home videos,' 'improve color balance,' etc. However, you have to download a $20 software upgrade to get that functionality--another third of the sale price!

It was very difficult to figure this out because of the terrible support from Roxio/Corel. You basically have to register to get 14 days e-mail support (forgot phone or chat), and after that you have to pay for any and all support. Knowledge base is virtually null. I tried to get my money back from Newegg, pointing out the product didn't come with the functionality advertised, but they wanted me to jump through several hoops with the vendor, so I gave up. I'll be warier about ordering from them in future.

All in all, a very frustrating experience. I'm probably going to do more research and try something else. I can't bring myself to pay for the software upgrade. Also, a general top 10 review site led me astray on this one. Maybe the review was dated, but the support from Roxio they described no longer seems to exist.

Rating: 1/5Win7 + Roxio = Fail

This review is from: Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3.0 Plus

Pros: Arrived on time.

Cons: The app doesn't start.

So far, I've installed this on two different Win7 x64 machines, and have had absolutely no success capturing any video. In both cases, everything appears to install properly and the USB device is recognized, but the app fails to start. All I get is a non-responsive splash screen and a process that cannot be killed by Windows Task Manager. I've tried running in various compatibility modes, running as admin, using the drivers that ship with the device, using updated drivers recommended by Windows Update, "repairing" the installation with the install disc, performing a complete uninstall and reinstall... Nothing allows me to get past the splash screen.

I've created a support request with Roxio / Corel, but have yet to get any response from them. So, I'd stay as far away from this product as possible until a fix is available.

Other Thoughts: I'm still hoping that I can get the capture working with another application, as the driver seemed to install properly and the USB device is recognized. So far, I've only tried Windows Movie Maker, but no luck there. I'll update this post if I make any headway.

Rating: 2/5many bugs in the program

This review is from: Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3.0 Plus

Pros: It does work sporadically. I am using this to convert home videos on VHS to DVD.

Cons: It has many bugs, doesent work on certain computers, many errors on the ones it does wrk on. it will sometimes alow me to burn DVD's sometimes not. It will not allow me to compress a file to fit on a DVD even though it has a button that says it can. the video is 200mb larger than than what the DVD can hold. It will shut down sometimes and loose the 2 hour movie that it just recorded and then I will have to rerecord it. Just a pain!

Other Thoughts: I think many people that are going to be using this would not be real comouter gurus and as such I would not advise this purchase.Wont work on my home built rig at all.Will sporadically work on my 6 month old Lenovo laptop.

Rating: 4/5Roxio VHS to DVD Plus 3

This review is from: Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3.0 Plus

Pros: Software was easy to install and getting the driver software to recognize the device on the computer was simple. I transferred two old work out tapes to dvd and it was simple once I figured out some technical things that the help section doesn't cover. Tapes copied great, no artifacts (transparent squares) and from what I can tell the picture doesn't jump or lag when the conversion is done.There are two very great features that comes in the software: the noise reduction, which really works, and the stabilization feature which reduces the video being jumpy by the camera man. The exercise videos I have did jump up and down when I transferred it but the stabilization took care about 90-95 percent of it. There are settings where you can tweak the noise reduction and stabilization so that is a major plus.

Cons: Don't use the software it comes with to burn your dvd is takes way to long. That's because it burns a elevator music sound track to the title page of the dvd and I can't find a way to exclude it. Also there isn't much customization settings with the software to make it how you want it, it's very bare bones. Also the dvd menus look good in the software but on a TV or computer monitor it sometimes does or doesn't. Finally, there is only text for the dvd menu so you can't have a button that has a picture or video from your home movie to click on, like I said very bare bones. Knocked off an egg for the bare bones software and insufficient instructions.

Other Thoughts: Huge tip to people using this software to burn anything or digitally transfer to the computer: when you go to advance settings to transfer to dvd or computer don't use MPEG2 as a file type, it takes forever, like in it will take a week for your dvd to finish burning or transferring. Use the WMV (Windows Media Video) instead and it won't take so long. Reason is MPEG2 is a bigger file format and if you put your video setting to best quality it will never be done in a day. Video looks good on best quality using WMV in my opinion. I recommend using Windows DVD Maker (which comes with any Windows 7 version), Nero, or any other software to burn your dvds. DVD Plus 3 is compatible with Mac so Mac users use what you have or get burning software for Mac. Roxio does have advanced dvd burning software by itself but I think I wouldn't buy a $99 software from a company that gave me bare bones software to begin with, so it's up to you.
